They’ve been stealing from other sites too 😱 Have a look at [this and [URL=http://www.webthang.co.uk/tuts/tuts\_css/css3/css3.asp]this. And [URL=http://www.techhelping.com/geegee/pagetransitions.html]this and [URL=http://www.webthang.co.uk/tuts/tuts\_css/css5/css5.asp]this](http://www.techhelping.com/geegee/cssmagic.html). And there are so many, I’m not going to put em all here.

I can probably find other sites they’ve stolen from, I’m gonna list them here by editing my post

- [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) (many)
- [www.webthang.co.uk](http://www.webthang.co.uk) (many)
- [http://adres.internet.com/feature/article/0,,8961\_267461,00.html](http://adres.internet.com/feature/article/0,,8961_267461,00.html) (scroll down)
- [http://flash.cybermeister.net/flashdrawing/](http://flash.cybermeister.net/flashdrawing/) (and more)
- [http://www.iboost.com/build/software/flash/morphing\_shapes/1135.htm](http://www.iboost.com/build/software/flash/morphing_shapes/1135.htm)

They took basically everything they’ve got from those five 😱

I’m gonna set up a html page which will contain the title and where they got it from ! Grrrrr … It must be taken down !! 😱 I can’t stand people who take credit off someone else 😱

form a band, contact all those people and make them aware, then get all the signatures on paper and send it to GG, get her name and stuff and MAIL post not email to her then saying you will sue if she doesnt change. that will get it down fast, 4+ law suits for copyright infringment. you get the image.

I just split this thread from the other one - makes it easier so that they members don’t have to read the first few pages of another incident 🙂

lol that is funny. There are all these posts yelling at her and calling her names and then there is Kirupa’s post. 😛

That is horrible that they did what they did. Hopefully we can get that fixed. If not then I might have to take some personal action… 😉

In the netherlands there’s an author, Tim Krabbé called, and he was writing chess curiosities. Perhaps some of you know him. He had a site, one of the most visited in holland. And suddenly he saw a site who was ripping off all his articles. He mailed that loser. And you know what he said? He said he was going to copy all his website and add an copyright.

That was one of the worst days for all the chess freaks in the netherlands. Tim Krabbé has then deleted his site… He didn’t wanted that loser to copy everything. Thousend of chess freaks still regret it.

It’s a bit a similir story, at least the beginning. So let’s hope that GG is not like that… :stunned: ;(
